-Alliances had limited Trade causign economic problems
-Rival alliances had promoted tension rather then security
-Alliances had failed to prevent food shortages
-Allies had been plotting to help each other conquer neighboring territories

Answer 1

Rival alliances had promoted tension rather than security

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposing coalition brought about pressure instead of safety. Allies, however, did not conquer with other different territories; instead, it left the Germany alliance stranded between two prominent partners that were likely to come in any moment. Further other countries had a coalition that resulted in tension because of the outlook of the nation. For instance, Germany allied to Australia-Hungary and Russia. Nevertheless, Ally encouraged them to continue with the fight even though it caused tension to other countries.

Answer 2

The correct answer is that rival alliances had promoted tension rather than security. England had decided to side with the Russians and France. This is because it was very scared that Germany had become too powerful. This fueled the fire and made the Germans more agitated. All of the nations saw alliances as a threat towards one another.
